Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita


Nestled just under the city of Matera, the location of Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita is the perfect spot for experiencing all the luxury of yesteryear along with the comforts of today. You can venture out and hike around the canyon, which is also a lovely location for picnics. Leisure facilities, such as golf and spa treatments can be found with 40 minutes of the hotel, as well as wine tasting and Greek ruins, all of which can be explored either on foot or bicycle.

Sextantio Le Grotte della Civitahas 18 guest rooms in total, all of which were carved along the lanes climbing up to the town of Matera. Boasting spacious proportions, each has been restored respecting the original form and materials used. Although just as luxurious as any modern establishment built recently, the rustic décor with cobblestone floors and granite arches transport guests to back to the Middle Ages. From each room, you can contemplate the extraordinary landscapes of the Gravina district, a spectacular canyon in a beautiful natural park. You won�t miss out on any of today�s amenities, as the hotel provides such modern comforts as WiFi internet access, as well as a restaurant and a bar.







Situated in the Cività district, between the cathedral and Gravina canyon, Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita is the only hotel in the world located within the natural extravagance of prehistoric caves. This world-class hotel represents the most spectacular and well-preserved example of a town where thousands of caves have been used for centuries as dwellings, churches and even palaces. The result is a unique location unlike any other hotel establishment in the world, and a UNESCO World Heritage since 1993 where luxurious comfort converges with prehistoric design.
